National Reconciliation Week 2018: Don't Keep History a Mystery

Sunshine Coast Council is hosting a National Reconciliation Week morning tea in each of its eight libraries in keeping with this year’s theme of Don’t Keep History a Mystery. In addition, the works of Lyndon Davis, Gubbi Gubbi artist, will be on display in the Maroochydore Library art space from 21 May 2018. On May 30 there will be a free community screening of the powerful documentary Zach’s Ceremony at Majestic Cinemas Nambour. Bookings are essential for Zach’s Ceremony.

Council is also supporting community led National Reconciliation Week events, including Sunshine Coast Reconciliation Group's Recognition Walk and Shared History Seminar and Reconciliation Week With Gail Mabo hosted by the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Economic independence is one of the building blocks of successful communities. Sunshine Coast Council supports linking local, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with private sector and government supply chains.
